Necessary Steps to Change Mazal - R. Alon Anava - TorahAnytime.com

when i want to change my mazal it means that i have to go out of my own limitation and that can happen in many different ways how many times you have a certain routine or a certain personality or a certain reaction all you need to do is to go a little bit out of that to do something out of the ordinary and i'll give you one example remaining i prepared many more more information but unfortunately there's so much what to say and there's so much little time i'll tell you one story that i wanted to share this is a story in the talmud i'm sure you heard about the tanarabe akiva he had a daughter ambi akiva was a great mikubal maybe there's no books of kabbalah but nevertheless by the way sephiroth is also attributed to rabbi akiva given a lot of mysticism look at his students looked in them as a lot of his daughter and he knew that she's going to die on the day of her wedding now imagine living your life and you want to raise your your daughter and just know that the daughter's going to die on the day of the wedding and i'm going to take a real sharp turn for a second to tell you something because a lot of people come to me and many others tell me my masala tell me my future read my name read my eye read my hand you know i gave a class last year about the hand about the lines in the hand oh i had a line from here to newark what does it say i don't want to tell you no no come on i know you see something here and then i had another class but all the lines in the face people came to me i got pictures on whatsapp like faces what do you see well i see a big nose to start with but people go to all sorts of babots what does this say what does this say what does that say what does my masala say i can already tell you if hashem wanted you to know something he will tell you what he doesn't want you to know he doesn't tell you don't try to find out and i'm telling you quickly a story i want to take a detour so we can go back to our topic there was once a person who came to the balchemto and he told them to i know you know the language of the birds i want you to teach me the language of the birds bashem tells him why do you need this headache he says no i want to know because the angel the birds are angels and i know the birds are talking and they know everything he tried to convince him over and over and the man was persistent no teach me the language of the birds okay so he told him the language of the birds one day the person is walking in the street here's these two birds on the tree he puts his head closer and what does he hear the birds talking about him that his boy is about to break his leg he runs to the home starts patting everything holds the the the child he secures everything and what do you know he saved the boy didn't break his leg okay he's all happy it all worked good a couple days later he's walking in the street again he he puts his head down he hears the birds talking what is he here now that the birds are talking about him this guy his house is about to catch fire and completely burned down he runs home turns over all the fire off brings fire extinguishers moves everything out protects the house and bow hashem nothing happens to the house okay a few days later he walks in the street again now the whistle didn't work but he looks at the birds he puts his head down now he hears the worst of all the birds are saying this man down there is about to die hey i'm about to die now what are you going to do he runs to the bar help me save me i'm about to die and mashem tells him i told you not to listen i told you nothing good will come out of it why do you need this headache no please save me i'm going to die what should i do he tells him you're full originally there was a decree against you because you did something bad so they decided from shaman with a lot of mercy that your child will only break his leg you had to stop it if you wouldn't stop it he would break his leg and that's it and it will all be over so you had to stop that so when they do the decree now doubled so they said we're going to burn his house down and you had to stop that so now the decrees on you that you will die why do you need to know all this headache nevertheless going back to our story rabbi akiva knew that his daughter is going to die on the night of the wedding now what do you do okay comes the night of the wedding this is the wedding of the century can you imagine the daughter of the talmud the the rebbe of the generation huge wedding akiva comes to his daughter the next day he's of course praying and praying knocks on the door he's afraid opens the door his daughter's there he looks at her and tells me something weird was going on yesterday she said no we had a beautiful wedding catering was amazing this photographer did an unbelievable job the picture's already in whatsapp that's my addition nevertheless he tells her everything was okay she says yeah wedding went smooth everything was fine now he doesn't tell her whatever you're supposed to be dead now says anything out of the ordinary happen to make a long story short she says yeah actually something really or unordinary happened he's like what he says yesterday now i came home and i took my hair down and what was holding the hair was a long pin now you have nice professional pins well they used to put all the hair together and stick something in it like a little something like this so she took this out the hair fell down and she stuck it in the wall that's how they used to do in the olden days she told him in the morning i come to pull out the pin and i see a dead snake i see blood in a dead snake wow i became a sid what did you do i didn't do anything no you had to do something long story short after some interrogations she said that the wedding was a huge wedding and you our weddings they always have the table for the poor people she said that she saw in the commotion you know wedding dancing a man all coming into the hole and looking for food a poor man he couldn't find any food she went to her table took her portion after not eating the whole day because the bride has too fast on her wedding day and she gave it to that poor person and that's where the famous quote comes from it charity will save you from death akiva told you know you were supposed to die yesterday but you did such unbelievable charity giving somebody your own portion that you didn't eat the whole day that said the cast saved you from death and this is one story out of many maybe another class i'll tell you some other stories in the talmud of unbelievable change of the mazaal why because you did something out of the ordinary sadaqah many people give it to the car it's not really not hard to write a check how do you give this to the car if you have 50 and you give a hundred whoa you went a little bit out of your way and this is just with money how many times you have to take somebody and help somebody and please help me bills take from me and i'm just talking here about a charity how about sometimes you come home very upset the clients all really got you upset and you walking home that poor person that's in front of you the first target and usually that's what happens how about the next time you take a deep breath your wife is not a punching bag the kid that didn't do nothing that spilled something on the floor is not a punching bag you go completely out of your way completely out of your limitation and you say no i'm not going to lose it right now on that person this is one example that many i can't give you too many examples you use your own imagination the point is yes israel there is masala to us why is it saying israel to the nation of israel because um all the nations yes they're controlled a hundred percent by the planets in the maasai no question here but we have the ability to go above that how do i change my masala so there's a place in the tamil that says if a person has a hard time al-adamiya surim there are four things to do we spoke about it last week when it has to do with the names one of them one of the things is to change your action another one is called saka means to pray hashem changing your name and shalom and changing your uh your behavior but here when you want to find the little trick how do you change your masala maybe something is not working out how many times people can get married can find your other half can't have a child business is not working out something's clogged you know how many people ask me that question i feel life is stuck why now what so next wednesday was the shame not next day this wednesday in two days we're having a lecture in brooklyn about that i said oh that's a good question i had about 3 300 people asking me that let's make a lecture that way i don't have to answer so many people i'll just put it online so come on wednesday here because a lot of times life is stuck but here we're looking at a different angle sometimes my masala something i don't know the masala we say you know we say nothing's working out how do you change your masala very simple very simple act go out of the state of limitations that you are do an act that is totally not you that is you're looking at your personality and you're saying that is not me you go and do that somebody asks you for to the ka you have in your pocket 50 you're saying i'm not going to get 50 i'm get 20 because i need some for myself now give 200. why because you're going completely out of the personality of your limitations now don't do it every time because you're going to go back and see but but i'm just giving you the idea and i'm giving you the idea with seda but it can be many other things how many times you're about to burst in anger or shalom some people they have a bad habit that they like putting other people down in front of other people this is a severe sin close your mouth person has an issue with hashanah all day long talking so one day close don't say we talked about it last week last week i told you the talmud says the word word is worth a lot but not saying that word is worth much more you have to understand that when you feel that the masala is kind of something is not shifting there first of all and most important like i told you in the beginning i hope you're taking notes is if a person has a leak a person is sinning a lot you're not going to get anything by the way the shepherd is running out you're doing a lot of good things but the abundance is running out that's so close the faucets i know it's easier said than done a lot of people say well we're human we sin okay i'm also human make it that it's a minimum of the minimum of the minimum now i need to sin 50 times a day once a month i'll give you that but you know what and even if christmas you failed in sin so don't you are anyway but you have to follow the path of the torah that's when you have a leak still the masala is not moving don't go to all sorts of babot and give by all sorts of junk somebody came to me not too long ago with amulets he told me i don't know what to do with this junk i paid thousands of dollars be i blend it because my son is sick now the whole family is sick tell them who told you to buy this junk nobody even knows in our generation how to write them come out why you do that the first thing i asked him how much did you pay oh thousands of dollars you're full you take the thousands of dollars you paid feed poor people that would be a hundred times more powerful to heal your child why are you buying this junk now now it has to go to the garbage people were looking for for the easy way out for abraham to buy this a segura if i will say i have a segula what what what what tell me tell me the shortcut those shortcuts in this life there's no shortcuts you have to apply you have to work and you want to change your mazel you have to see what is the limitation where the kaloshvu tells you go out of that do an act that is so not you so above your own limitation that's how you suddenly you know what you do you change the amazon or you don't change the mazal you just open a little bit the shaffer then it kind of starts pouring down sometimes you know when you have a clog all you need to do is play around with it a little bit and suddenly the whole the the abundance starts coming down and this is said what we said now this is very very short this is the short version of the long the long the explanation but at least you got here's the the basic idea that first of all like i told you yeah you have to go on the path of the torah there's no other way if you're not going on the path of the torah not show me don't expect things good to happen and the effort is becomes worse and worse and worse and a person has to go on the path of torah but more than that when you want to use a little trick to go out then take what i said and i said just one example in a minute you use your own imagination somebody calls you and tells you i need a place to stay for two weeks oh okay two weeks i don't want somebody on my couch for two weeks i don't want somebody walking in my house for two weeks for you it's something huge for some people it's no problem yeah i have 17 rooms you can come whenever you want some people for them you know what's really when you don't have room and when you don't really want that then you don't don't really want that person in your life right now you see where it's related with you that you have to go way above what you can handle can be patience can be controlling your anger it can be judgment can be in so many ways i'm just throwing ideas so you have the thought because my point is that you go out of this door tonight with something i don't want you to go out of this door tonight and say okay okay so i heard a nice lecture if you don't go out of this door tonight and with some tool to apply then you wasted your time and i failed to deliver the message my goal is that you go out of tonight and you sing listen i'm very selfish i just want you to stop calling me and asking me what to do i'm giving you a hug and i'm joking people all day long give me this give me that here here's the here's the the answer do it yourself the point is that we want all to be blessed and i can give you as many bohot as you want and as much as i can but in order to receive the baha'i something has to happen many people come and tell me give me a bacha i'll give you all the bahot in the world i'll give you gazillions of dollars beautiful kids amazing wife but you have to do something in order to receive the baja you have to create what i said before a vessel a vessel where the blessing can be in that's how you shift things in the world above so i'm going to end by giving you a bracha hashem should bless you with unbelievable abundance of health wealth happiness unbelievable marriage huge success in everything that you do in paramasa in your mind growth in your torah kids that are healthy kids that are educated and going in the path of the torah real men serenity in your nephesh that you are happy and content and and and everything that happens in your life you see the good in it that kadosh bestowed you up but like i told you you have to go one step above your limitations you've just experienced another torah class brought to you by
